Everyone gathered towards the stage where a teacher from U.A. was addressing everyone.
"Now!! Crack!!" The hero in question was Midnight, a hero who is regarded as the R-Rated Hero, her attire reflected with a skin colored outfit. "For the athlete's oath! Now the student representative Hiroyuki Albert from Class 1-A!!"
Everyone looked at Albert as he walked up.
"Big surprise, picked form the Hero Course entrance exam." Said a student from the General Studies.
Albert ignored all the noise and walked up on stage.
"You nervous cutie?" Midnight said to Albert.
"Somewhat. Thank you for worrying about me." Albert made a small smile that made Midnight's day.
"Fufu." She blushed a bit at Albert's charm. "Good luck sweetie!"
Albert stand before all the first years.
"The athlete's oath… Well I just have to you all is… I wish you all good luck um… Most of you are probably gonna get eat dirt from the students from the Hero Course so um… you know good luck! You never know maybe you can one up the hero course?" Albert then walks down from the stage.
A harmless response. But some students felt it was half-hearted, and they would be right. Albert knew most of the students were gonna fail miserably.
"Now onto our first event!!" Midnight shouted to move things along. "The first event of the first years this year is this!!!"
Midnight points to the screen to show Obstacles Course Race.
"Now it's a race between everyone from all eleven classes!! It's four-kilometer long so as long as you don't go off course anything is fair game!! Everyone!! Racers to your positions!!"
Everyone got ready at the line.
The tension built up and everyone were ready when the light turns green.
"Fuu~" Albert took a deep breath. He looks at the massive crowd and smiles.
The light turns yellow.
"Mélusine keep an eye out."
"I understand, Albert." Mélusine said in her spiritual body. "I'll be sure to watch you in action!"
The light turned green, and everyone ran.
"START!!!!!"
Albert kicked off the ground, leaving behind his footprint.
CRACK!!!
He rushed with as much as speed he can built up and jumped onto the top of the gate.
Clang~~!!
Everyone looked at him both from the students and watchers.
And with another jump he broke the gate as he launched himself over the crowd through the tunnel and out of the stadium.
Foom~!
As he approached the ground he rolled to minimize the speed and as soon as he was back up right he kicked off again running even faster.
Thud!! Thud!!
Thud!! Thud!!
What made it even more impressive was that they found his running form to be perfect. There was no wasted movement in him. His head did not bob up and down, his hands moved in synch with his legs if his right leg went forward and so did his right arm. He was the example of optimization.
It was an odd, mechanical look that made up for its oddness with it's speed.
"ALBERT!!!!" Bakugo shouted coming after him. "I AM GOING TO KICK YOUR ASS!!!!"
Albert paid Bakugo no mind. He just kept moving forward with speed that left his peers in the dust.
Running up he found the first obstacles, a bunch of giant robots with several other smaller ones.
"You have to throw bigger ones to stop me!!!" Albert ran even faster, and he ran up to one of the giant Robot's legs and Albert kicked it's leg with his own.
Clang!!!!!!
The kick was so strong it broke their legs as he kicked through the metal. The robot fell onto the other and they all came down like domino's.
To the spectators they all had one thought.
"…Uwaaah. He's kinda overpowered."
And...
"He has strong legs to kick through metal."
One hero in question looked at Albert with keen eyes.
"Hoh…" Mirko smirks as she saw Albert kick through the first barrier.
'Him… He looks promising! But he feels familiar…'
Back to the obstacle course Albert made it to the second barrier. Several pillars connected by tightropes.
"To easy."
Albert ran even faster and jumped.
It was like hop-scotch to him if he ever played it. He landed on a pillar and jumped to the next one.
Back to the stadium.
"…That kid in the lead… I kinda feel nothing can stop him." Said a spectator.
"Yeah… He's extraordinarily athletic. He isn't even thinking about sabotaging those behind him." Said another.
Similar statements reached Mirko's ears, and she whole heartily agree. Albert was and is a dominating force.
'Let's see what he can do for the fighting portion of the festival.'
The distance between Albert and everyone else was day and night. His speed never even slowed, it was a constant pace but that stopped for the last barrier, a minefield.
"…Heh~" Albert took a minute to look at the mine field before him and get a layout of the mines. Then he stepped back and ran full speed.
Whoosh~
He leapt half-way through before stepping onto the ground and then kicked off the ground to leap to the other side of the minefield.
"Very neat." He said as he resumed his previous speed.
To many it wasn't even a contest, Albert just went on a jog. A minute later Todoroki and Bakugo came rushing in. Bakugo went over while Todoroki froze everything in front of him.
They wore stressed expressions as they focused on what is in front of them. They didn't impeded one another.
But it was for naught. The one they view as their greatest obstacle was and is leagues better than them. It was only confirmed as Albert reached the stadium by the time they reached half way through the minefield.
"And there you have it!!" Shouted Present Mic from the announcers booth with Aizawa next to him. "The first to make back to the stadium first is student representative!!! Albert Hiroyuki!!"
Running into the open stadium he was met with thunderous, massive applause.
"Hey, Eraser Head, you have a promising student huh?"
"Yes, in a class full of promising talent he is a cut above the rest." Aizawa said.
Watching from the stadium bleachers All Might grimaced a bit.
'Young Midoriya… You still have a mountain to overcome. I told you the likelihood of you winning were slim because of Albert so don't feel bad. That kid is a monster.'
Hearing so much applause for him Albert felt a sense of pride, but he quickly dismissed it.
'It was nothing. It didn't even feel like a warm up.'
As Albert was gonna go rest by the wall Midnight came up to him.
"Any words Mr. first place!" she said with a mic in hand in his face.
"…Yeah I do." She hands him the mic. "I just want to say I had a nice jog." Albert hands the mic back to Midnight.
"A bit bold compared to your oath?" Midnight then held it to Albert again.
"It's bold? I am merely stating how I feel about my jog. If you took it as bold then I guess you are interpreting as I crushed my peers with my overwhelming power."
Mirko watching from the stands couldn't help but smile ear to ear.
"I like that kid!" Mirko said as she nudged her friend next to her. "Hey, I want him for the internship!"
"That's rare of you." Said Ryuko Tatsuma, hero name Ryukyu, a woman with chin-length blonde hair that she wears swept back with a headband. "I didn't think you were paying attention seeing as I had to drag you here."
"Well I much prefer to find and fight villains, but it seems with that kid things will be interesting!"
